Sandals Barbados

Simply wonderful ! We have never had a holiday this good everything was superb. We had saved for a long time to get to this destination we were not let down absolutely brilliant. We hope to visit again.

Just sitting at the airport about to Leave Barbados, and the Sandals resort. We have stayed at a handful of all inclusive resorts. This breaks the mold in a couple of ways. The food is NOT all inclusive food! It’s much better! The dinners are great. Be sure to visit them all. Special kudos to Butchs steak and Portofino. We ate there numerous times (there were a few nights we enjoyed more than one restaurant). Most of the staff were super friendly and made us feel we were their priority. The second highlight was the Butlers we had. I was at first unsure how much we would need or actually use our butlers. But please take note: it is worth it!!!! Two shining stars for our stay were Bryan and Sharlene our butlers. They are truly exceptional and are real people who we had a ton of laughs with. Without writing a ton of compliments in this review, feel free to message me with any questions. Thank you to the entire Sandals team for making our 10 night stay extraordinary!

What an amazing place. Everything was perfect from start to finish. The choice of restaurants and the quality of food was second to none. Best place was the English pub for amazing drinks and lots of fun. Only one problem, we had to come home.

Overall, our honeymoon was great. We enjoyed meeting many people- both locals, and visitors. We enjoyed the view from our room, the cleanliness of the room, the restaurants (food was amazing from everywhere.. literally), and the pools -especially the swim-up bar ;-). We really enjoyed our private candle light dinner on the beach with Shavonne as our waitress (who typically works at Schooners). She was ON TOP OF EVERYTHING, and was super friendly. We also enjoyed Rachel as our waitress at Bayside. She was a sweetheart as well. As far as entertainment goes, Josiah was amazing and constantly had us smiling and laughing. Now for the minor complaints.... So, although we had a great time there were some bumps in the road. When we arrived, we were put right near the construction (beachfront club level suite) when we specifically called and asked not to be near it. However when we called the person on the phone with us didn't seem to know what we were talking about. When we called the front desk they accommodated us by moving us down further away from the construction 2 days into vacation. (definitely made a difference). Also, another complaint might be a few staff members (not many) were a bit stand-offish and unfriendly. For example, one situation, my husband was asked what he wanted to drink at the bar and was unsure what he wanted yet, and it resulted in eyes being rolled at him. All in all, a wonderful time, but I have to say, it was not our favorite vacation.

Let's start with the positives, fantastic beach and great food. The senior staff were friendly and helpful, as for the rest we thought them somewhat laid back and not as attentive as other Sandals we have stayed at. We had a Butler Suite, our Butler Bryan was very helpful. The layout is strange with the majority of restaurants around the entrance with others located near the main pool. There is some work going on both in the old resort and on the new resort next door. Overall could do better.
